As each new year approaches, I look to hear from God about what He is saying about each new season. We celebrate the "New Year" on the first day of January but in reality, the new season begins in the fall. (We will save this script for another time). At any rate, it is important that we have our ears and eyes open as to what is happening as each season approaches. There are very specific things that we must know in order to move accordingly. God may not tell us everything, but He definitely tells us what we need to know and exactly when we need to know it.
The Year of The Sword is the hour that we are in and here is what that means.
We are in a time of Great Separation with the Purpose of Preparation for the entrance of our soon coming King...Jesus. I am not privy to when Jesus will return, no one is, but what we do know is that we are closer today then we have ever been before.
The Sword according to the biblical meaning is the Word of God.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God - Eph 6:17
Hebrews 4:12 also tells us "For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit,
of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents
of the heart."
The time has come when people are being put into their chosen categories. Either one has sided with God or they have done the opposite and chose to make an alliance with the enemy. It doesn't matter what you hear people say or how many Sunday's in a row a person goes to church, the heart of man is what is being examined and the Examiner is The Lord. No longer will those who have not turned their hearts towards God be able to walk around as if they were alive; the decay of their hearts will be very visible to those who have eyes to see. People's motives will be separated from their actions and they will be dealt with accordingly.
The church is also under warning. If you notice, I did not use an upper case "C", I used a lower cased one because I am not talking about the Body of Christ as this point...I am speaking of the building that people call a church. Within its walls is so much death. People are going in those places multiple times a week and leave the exact same way they came in and sometimes they are leaving in a worse state. Why? One reason is because the Word is not being preached. Just because the "preacher" stands there in front of you with a Bible in hand does not mean that you are getting the Word that God has for you. Watered-down truths mixed with the self-seeking performance of the "presenter" leaves people empty. The Word of God is Life...it is Strength. The Word of Man is a Band-aid and a Weak Crutch. Yes...God's Word will always do something for someone but when it is mixed with man's will and intentions, it does not go forth as God has purposed which leaves people dry. God is saying to the leaders of these "churches" to "Turn back to His Word. It is the Sword that will cut through sin, cut out hate and divide truth from error." "The mission is not to grow your membership, it is to grow the Kingdom...the True "Church". "Pull The Sword Out". I blogged a month ago about the 2016 Election and if you read it, it is saying a similar thing to what is being said now. God has re-established order and a standard has been raised. Along with this order come the reinforcement of it and the Word is what we are to be measuring our lives to, not what the world says--the world definition of order will cause your to stumble and fall. The Sword is our Ruling Guide and The Sword is The Word of God. We cannot keep trying to be "politically correct" and careful with not offending others...souls are at stake. In all that we do, it must be according to God's leading and when He is at the forefront, all that we say and how we approach others will be out of Truth and Love. The Great Separation is Now and we will begin to see it all unfold. Some have said this is the Year of Jubilee and that is true as well because, with the Sword is dividing the wealth now, not man. Restoration is bound to take place when the Word of God is active and we will see this happening at rapid speed in this new season. I encourage you to walk into the new season with Divine Boldness...Sword in Hand and begin to live as God has called you to live. Protection has been called in place for you and Provision has positioned itself for you. Go Forth... |
